If I close my eyes
Will it all go away
And if I plug my ears
Will the lies disappear
And what would happen
If I were to lie down
Would this shrouding heartache
Still be around
I just want
To obtain the cure
To my misfortune
The writing on the wall
Isn't so clear anymore
And misery's number
Always seems to be tatooed
On all the bathroom stalls
So how come
It follows me
Everywhere I go
Angels can you hear me
I just want to go back home
Back into loving arms
to forever cradle
My broken heart
My shattered dreams
And to kiss away
My soul piercing screams
I'm ever so tired
So if I close my eyes
Will it all go away
And if I open up
my heart again
Will love be standing there
outside my bedroom door
Waiting, greeting me
with open arms

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

an achingly beautiful write... the emotions reach out to the reader.
so good to see you posting again poetess Ceinwyn.

I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality.

You certainly write extremely well when you are in pain--and you don't write half bad when you're happy either.
You just did a number on my harp strings! Gosh, I wish I could just give you a magic pill and everything would be alright in your world. Howsabout a man! I'll wave my magic wand...Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! ...Sir Toe is now at your beck and call!

Warm hugs,

Wonderful rhythm in this very beautiful and very touching piece.
The pain is felt. May it fade ...

Definitely catches in one's soul, my friend.
Well done. And I think that love IS waiting outside the bedroom door when one is truly
"ready" to open said door and accept the warmth of the "new" sunrise...

Yes, it will go away, and yes, love will be waiting.... probably not this particular time, but A time, if you are ready.

This an intrigueing piece of poetry; the overarching sadness of it just turns the heart in so many directions at once....

....one hint though...the only way I can read that color is to highlight the text so it turns dark-on-white.....this one well worth that little effort!
